• DOCUMENTARY<br />
MICHELLE OBAMA<br />
Michelle<br />
Obama’s<br />
lesson in<br />
staying on<br />
script<br />
EVERYTHING Michelle Obama does<br />
will always be of interest, even if it<br />
isn’t interesting. As the first black<br />
woman to be the First Lady of the<br />
US, she knows this scrutiny comes<br />
with the territory.<br />
Early on in Becoming, a new<br />
Netflix documentary about her life,<br />
Obama encourages Melissa Winter,<br />
her chief of staff, to express her<br />
emotions. They are in Chicago, the<br />
first stop of a 34-city book tour for<br />
her 2018 memoir, and Obama is<br />
about to speak in front of a packed<br />
arena. For her, and those who have<br />
been on the journey with her, it’s<br />
overwhelming. “You don’t have to<br />
keep it together. You don’t have to.<br />
You can go ahead and cry your eyes<br />
out,” Obama says to Winter. “I can’t<br />
do that right now.” But one wonders<br />
if she ever could, or even would.<br />
The film is being billed as a “rare<br />
and up-close look” at the former first<br />
lady’s life. But, whereas the memoir<br />
– through its deeply personal stories<br />
about Obama’s existential struggles<br />
in young adulthood and the pains<br />
of a miscarriage later on – offered<br />
a partial illumination of a woman,<br />
who critics and admirers alike have<br />
tried to understand for years, the<br />
documentary feels more routine.<br />
It hits all the notes of a mega<br />
star choosing to share her life with<br />
the public: selective biographical<br />
moments and star-studded guest<br />
appearances, plus a healthy dose of<br />
motivational messaging about the<br />
virtues of education and the holistic<br />
ownership of personal narratives.<br />
Directed by Nadia Hallgren, the<br />
movie takes viewers on an evenkeeled<br />
journey with Obama as she<br />
embarks on her book tour. She<br />
intends to use the time to reflect<br />
on her eight years in the White<br />
House and “to figure out what just<br />
happened to me”, she says.<br />
Obama’s multi-city conversations<br />
are invigorating, offering more<br />
personal insights and showing<br />
sharper versions of her signature<br />
charm and humour. She discusses<br />
overcoming impostor syndrome, that<br />
nagging feeling of not belonging<br />
while studying at Princeton<br />
University.<br />
She talks about her initial<br />
reluctance to date Barack Obama<br />
when they worked at the same<br />
Chicago law firm because, in part,<br />
everyone expected it. “That’s just<br />
what they are waiting for,” she<br />
recalls. “You two love each other,<br />
don’t you? You’re black, he’s black.<br />
This will be great.”<br />
While many elements of the<br />
documentary feel stagy, Obama’s<br />
more interesting responses are<br />
instigated during community events,<br />
when she speaks to smaller groups of<br />
people, often young students. They<br />
ask her how she overcame the sense<br />
of isolation that haunts many black<br />
women.<br />
She attributes her confidence<br />
to her parents, who allowed her to<br />
ask questions and made her feel<br />
visible. “We can’t afford to wait for<br />
the world to be equal to start feeling<br />
seen,” she says.<br />
Becoming is not the candid<br />
Michelle Obama film that people<br />
might have been waiting for. Instead,<br />
we get a familiar, more carefree,<br />
Obama who, in her own words,<br />
learned a long time ago “to be much<br />
more scripted”. | The New York Times<br />
Finding poetry<br />
...in survival<br />
Rebecca Solnit, who inspired the term ‘mansplaining’,<br />
explains herself (sort of)<br />
LAUREN SARAZEN<br />
IN 2008, Rebecca Solnit wrote an<br />
essay titled “Men explain things<br />
to me,” a biting critique of a<br />
condescending male behaviour that<br />
drowns out and belittles women’s<br />
voices, that went viral. The term<br />
it inspired – “mansplaining” –<br />
became not only a part of everyday<br />
conversation, but an entry in the<br />
Oxford English Dictionary.<br />
Solnit captured the anger and<br />
frustration of millions of women<br />
and quickly became a major feminist<br />
voice speaking out on #MeToo,<br />
climate change and the power of<br />
collective organising.<br />
Solnit’s memoir Recollections of<br />
My Nonexistence promises a more<br />
intimate look at her life. Here she<br />
tells us how she found her way as<br />
a writer, about her life in 1980s<br />
San Francisco and her shift from<br />
chronicling the trajectories of<br />
men forgotten by the art world,<br />
to analysing the tensions over the<br />
environmental and gender issues<br />
that define our times.<br />
Solnit writes vividly of her<br />
influences, from the thick<br />
atmosphere of gendered violence<br />
and discrimination, to the open<br />
landscapes of the American West,<br />
where she house-sits in New Mexico,<br />
researches and hikes alone. With<br />
Solnit as a guide, you can hear her<br />
neighbours tell tales of Texas and<br />
Oklahoma, walk past the varied<br />
shades of devotion in a community<br />
dotted by churches and sift through<br />
the archives at the San Francisco<br />
Museum of Modern Art.<br />
Readers are offered snippets of<br />
a life.<br />
Solnit writes of trying to both<br />
“appear and disappear”. The book’s<br />
cover echoes this theme: a snapshot<br />
of Solnit pressed up against a wall,<br />
bracing herself with elegantly<br />
gloved hands. She wears one of her<br />
favourite outfits, a 1940s pencil<br />
skirt and a men’s waistcoat belted<br />
and worn backward. The clothes<br />
may speak to confidence and<br />
transformation, but her pose is all<br />
about concealment.<br />
So it is in the book: there<br />
is a sense of reserve that feels<br />
deliberate even as it is unsatisfying.<br />
Solnit obeys the conventions of<br />
the memoir genre sparingly. For<br />
example, when she moves into her<br />
apartment on San Francisco’s Lyon<br />
Street at 19, she is the only white<br />
person in her building. Rather than<br />
delving deeply into the implications<br />
of her presence, Solnit reflects<br />
beautifully on the intricacies of the<br />
neighbourhood at large, writing<br />
one of the most vivid sections of<br />
the book. Yet when she moves years<br />
later, she leaves a gentrified, white<br />
middle-class area that bears little<br />
resemblance to the Lyon Street of<br />
1981, she has little to say about it.<br />
Solnit tells us how her voice<br />
developed: by listening to and<br />
reading stories in the news about<br />
violence against women, depicted<br />
in the arts and in personal stories<br />
told by friends. “I am a woman who<br />
during my youth thought it likely<br />
that I would be raped and maybe<br />
also murdered and all my life have<br />
lived in a world where women were<br />
raped and murdered by strangers for<br />
being women and by men they knew<br />
for asserting their rights or just being<br />
women and where those rapes and<br />
murders were lasciviously lingered<br />
on in art,” Solnit writes.<br />
Reading this, it’s difficult to<br />
fathom a way out of such darkness.<br />
What possible hope can remain<br />
within a society that passively allows<br />
violent female erasure?<br />
Solnit emphasises the need to<br />
find poetry in survival. Describing a<br />
delicate Victorian writing desk gifted<br />
by a friend, she imbues the object<br />
with a strong sense of her intellectual<br />
life and credibility as a writer. She<br />
meditates on the words she wrote<br />
sitting at this desktop – the emails to<br />
friends, the 20 books and countless<br />
essays – before revealing its darker<br />
history. “A year or so before she gave<br />
me the desk, my friend was stabbed<br />
15 times by an ex-boyfriend to<br />
punish her for leaving him,” Solnit<br />
writes. It’s a sombre turn, yet rather<br />
than lingering solely on despair,<br />
Solnit pivots toward hope: “Someone<br />
tried to silence her. Then she gave<br />
me a platform for my voice.”<br />
Perhaps it’s not surprising that<br />
the iconoclastic Solnit would, in<br />
her memoir, renounce the trappings<br />
of memoir itself. Solnit seems to<br />
see her own experience as part of a<br />
more sweeping experience of being a<br />
woman in the world. Writing about<br />
her own fear of rape, for example,<br />
she says, “I tell all of this not because<br />
I think my story is exceptional, but<br />
because it is ordinary; half the earth<br />
is paved over with women’s fear<br />
and pain, or rather with the denial<br />
of them, and until the stories that<br />
lie underneath see sunlight, this<br />
will not change”. Her book then,<br />
might be read less as memoir than<br />
as manifesto – a voice raised in hope<br />
against gender violence. It’s a call we<br />
should listen to. | The Washington Post<br />
